Forum Background

The comprehensive strategic partnership between the European Union (EU) and China turns 20 this year. Over the past two decades the EU and China, two of the world’s leading economies, have engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation in a win-win manner and achieved significant success in fields such as politics, economy, culture, and science. As of the end of 2022, EU-China bilateral trade volume reached $847.3 billion, with each side the second-largest trading partner of the other. The stock of two-way investment between China and the EU has exceeded $230 billion, benefiting people on both sides and contributing greatly to world peace and economic prosperity.

Looking ahead, the two sides hold great potential for cooperation and share common interests in promoting economic growth and financial stability, coping with the energy crisis, curbing inflation, and pursuing green and digital transitions. As such, they have decided to set up a financial working group under the China-EU High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue (HED) mechanism to strengthen cooperation in financial areas such as financial liberalisation, infrastructure, and regulation, as well as sustainable finance and fintech. However, some tension does exist within the relationship – EU authorities have recently opened an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric car imports, for example.

Corporate venture capital (CVC) differs from independent venture capital (VC) in several ways when it comes to how it nurtures innovation in new firms and what metrics a CVC fund regards as important. Whereas the objective of a common VC fund may simply be to get an attractive financial return, CVC funds are generally more focused on the strategic fit of any potential investment with their companies’ own strategic orientation.

At the European Chamber’s Corporate Venture Capital Conference 2019, managers of CVC funds, advisers and academics will talk about what makes a CVC unit successful, what deals these units are looking at in their respective sectors – information technology and life sciences, among others – and what they think about this sector’s potential in China.

Over the last 40 years, China has witnessed progressive liberalisation of its capital markets and its contribution to the world economy, with China now being the world’s second largest economy. China’s capital markets have continued to develop and open up at an unprecedented pace. Meanwhile, a significant step taken in 2017 to further open up the capital markets was allowing foreign institutional investors in the CIBM to have access to onshore FX risk hedging arrangements.
